Health and Social Care Communication. Examples from work with a service user with memory problems, and with new users of a playgroup.

LO4 – Be able to communicate and interact effectively in a health and social care environment OCR Nationals Cambridgeshire Level 3 Unit 1 Certificate/Diploma Health and Social Care Developing effective communication in health and social care The service user that I plan to have a one-to-one interaction will in Majella. I am going to be a care worker working at a local day centre. Majella attends this particular day centre three times a week; I am planning on having a one-to-one interaction with this service user for reminiscence therapy. Majella has very little memory and therefore this type of therapy would be the most appropriate in order for her to try and reconstruct her memory of the past. This, in return should help Majella to communicate more effectively with not only care workers, but also her family and other service users she may wish to communicate socially with. The fact that Majella has very little memory means this type of therapy would be most appropriate for her. It can be very useful and helpful. Reminiscence will provide a way for Majella to interact socially and conversationally based on her long term memory. This means her long term memory is acting as a facilitator. Reminiscence groups can be done easily and each topic is easy to plan and put into practise. I can get videos of old fields and old loved film stars may revive memories for Majella,

Unit 5 Anatomy and physiology in health and social care

0Unit 5: Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care. Aim and purpose This unit aims to enable learners to understand aspects of the anatomy and physiology of human body systems. Learners will be able to gain an overview of the organisation of the human body before looking at how body systems work together to provide energy for the body. Learners will have the opportunity to investigate how homeostatic mechanisms operate in the body. Unit introduction This unit introduces core knowledge of cellular structure and function, and the organisation of the body as a whole, and then builds on this to develop a more detailed knowledge of the fine anatomy and physiology of the systems involved in energy metabolism. Learners will examine the homeostatic mechanisms involved in regulating these systems to maintain health. Learners will be given the opportunity to undertake practical activities which will require them to take measurements of the cardio-vascular system, the respiratory system and of body temperature, using noninvasive techniques to investigate normal responses to routine variations in body functioning. This unit provides the core understanding of human physiology that underpins the study of the specialist physiology units within this programme. The unit also provides an overview of body functioning that is valuable for anyone working or intending to work in a field

It is an important aspect of everyday life, especially in a health and social care environment. This is because it is a way in which a service user and provider can share and obtain information. It can help express emotion for example a service user may feel unhappy about a certain aspect of their care they can use communication to let their service provider know this. They can then discuss between them what the service user may feel is more appropriate, this helps make the service user feel more valued as their service provider has used oral communication to help make sure their care is more specialised for the service user.

n this piece of coursework I am going to focus on the case study of my child Marie. I am going to explain a range of factors that have affected and influenced Maries development in a physical, intellectual, linguistic, emotional and social matter.

AO2 - Factors that influence development and norms of development Child development is a process that every child goes through. It refers to the changes that occur as the child grows and develops in relation to being physically health, mentally alert, emotionally sound and socially competent. In child development, children learn and master skills like sitting, walking, talking, skipping and many more. These master skills are enhanced and encouraged by the physical, intellectual, linguistic, emotional and social development of the child. All children should be able to crawl, walk, and talk and follow sequential pattern of development; unfortunately however there are some children who do not follow a pattern and have a delay in development. Development delay is where a child has not learnt the skills that are expected in that time point. For example a child would be expected to walk between 9-15 months, however if a child cannot walk by 20 months, the child would be considered to have a developmental delay. Development delay can occur in any of the five key areas of development. There can be many different factors that can cause development delays but the main factors that can cause it are the biological and social factors. Genetic inheritance or chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, can contribute to a child having development delay. These illnesses and
